It is designed to support high-volume transactions, [Decentralized Finance (DeFi)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi), and [Decentralized Applications (DApps)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and education.  \n  \nBy integrating [Proof-of-Work](https://iq.wiki/wiki/proof-of-work-pow) with [Directed Acyclic Graph](https://iq.wiki/wiki/directed-acyclic-graph-dag) architecture, Mazze seeks to improve scalability while addressing environmental concerns and aligning with global regulatory standards.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-dntc2yvhaci)[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-y9frgs25kii)  \n  \n# Products  \n  \n## Weighted Ledger Selection Rule (WLSR)  \n  \nMazze's Weighted Ledger Selection Rule (WLSR) applies a block weighting system, where blocks are assigned weights of 0, 1, or X. This aims to maintain throughput in normal conditions and strengthen security during attacks by producing special blocks. The Weighted Graph Ledger (WGL) combines this system with a [Directed Acyclic Graph](https://iq.wiki/wiki/directed-acyclic-graph-dag)-based ledger, seeking to balance scalability and security while mitigating liveness attacks.[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-cncihncsy9)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-jodijl2a2z9)  \n  \n## DAG-Embedded Tree Structure (DETS)  \n  \nMazze's [DAG](https://iq.wiki/wiki/directed-acyclic-graph-dag)-Embedded Tree Structure (DETS) incorporates its [DAG](https://iq.wiki/wiki/directed-acyclic-graph-dag) architecture into a tree-like design, where each block has a single parent and references multiple predecessors. This structure aims to improve ledger security, throughput, and support efficient data integration with concurrent block processing.[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-cncihncsy9)[\\[5\\]](#cite-id-jodijl2a2z9)  \n![1500x500-25.jpeg](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmbLaGaUUD9MyyPFAVHRz2rNPDkAskwttS8vTSyypGrnM9)  \n  \n# Architecture  \n  \n## Paradigm in Mining Efficiency  \n  \nMazze aims to improve mining efficiency by redirecting computational power to support [decentralized applications (dApps)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) and a computational grid. This approach seeks to optimize resource use and minimize the environmental impact of [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) operations.[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-r5jem1h9pt)  \n  \n## Zero-Knowledge Proofs  \n  \nMazze employs [Zero-Knowledge proofs (ZKP)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/zero-knowledge-proofs-zkps) to improve privacy and scalability. ZK proofs aim to enable transaction authentication without disclosing sensitive data, thereby preserving anonymity and enhancing scalability by reducing the data load for verification.[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-r5jem1h9pt)  \n  \n## Directed Acyclic Graph  \n  \nMazze employs [Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/directed-acyclic-graph-dag) technology, arranging transactions in a tree-like structure to support multiple block strands. This design aims to increase transaction throughput, reduce latency, and enhance network efficiency.[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-r5jem1h9pt)  \n  \n## Smart Contracts with EVM Compatibility  \n  \nMazze supports [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) with [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm) compatibility, which aims to facilitate the migration of [decentralized applications (DApps)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) from other [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). This integration seeks to offer developers robust [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) capabilities while ensuring performance and security.[\\[9\\]](#cite-id-r5jem1h9pt)  \n  \n# Mazze Testnet  \n  \nThe Mazze [Testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) aims to provide a risk-free environment for testing and development. It supports [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) deployment and experimentation with new technologies, and is compatible with the [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm). Testnet tokens are available via faucets for testing purposes.  \n  \nUnlike the [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet), which is used for real transactions and features greater stability and security, the [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) tokens have no monetary value and are intended solely for development and testing.[\\[10\\]](#cite-id-900f85s4b3u)  \n  \n# Tokenomics  \n  \n## Mazze Token ($MAZZE)  \n  \nThe native MAZZE token is designed to support various functions on the Mazze [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain). At the [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) launch, 5,000,000,000 tokens will be minted, with a one-way bridge enabling the conversion of [ERC20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) MAZZE tokens from [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) to native tokens. The token aims to facilitate network sustainability, liquidity, and community involvement.[\\[6\\]](#cite-id-jjqldy0xw9n)  \n![Screenshot 2024-09-16 at 20.41.37.png](https://ipfs.everipedia.org/ipfs/QmXTrZiGAXgb6vAv4Jf9LRqcqX4M4vSr2VwtSG8PfVdQ8T)  \n  \n## Utility  \n  \nThe MAZZE token provides several utilities within the Mazze ecosystem:  \n  \n* **Transaction Processing and Smart Contract Execution**: Aims to facilitate transactions and the execution of [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract).  \n* **Bonding for Storage Space**: Required to secure storage space on the network.  \n* **Miner Rewards**: Given for transaction fees and block rewards.  \n* **Economic and Security Measures**: Supports the network’s security and consensus mechanism.  \n* **Block Reward Management**: Manages inflation by reducing block rewards over time.  \n* **Adoption Incentives**: Designed to be compatible with [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) tools to encourage use.  \n* **Network Incentivization**: Aims to promote user participation and network security.[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-htp3avps8in)  \n  \n## Allocation  \n  \nThe MAZZE token allocation is as follows:  \n  \n* **Public Sale and DEX Liquidity (52%)**: Aims to provide liquidity and support the public token sale.  \n* **Ecosystem Development Fund (20%)**: Intended to support innovation and growth within the ecosystem.  \n* **Team Growth Fund (12%)**: Allocated for hiring and training new talent.  \n* **Community Engagement Fund (8%)**: Designed to support community-building activities and programs.  \n* **Marketing and Promotion Fund (8%)**: Aims to fund marketing campaigns and promotional activities.[\\[8\\]](#cite-id-cagtbn79kmq)  \n  \n# Ambassador Program  \n  \nThe Mazze Ambassador Program aims to involve individuals in representing the Mazze [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) project.
